Paradise Too Short

at first glance my heart leapt within me
  i felt a sensation i never once fell victim
you stole my heart and i had to get it back

  i unleashed upon you the gift of my mouthpiece
 even Shakespeare would have given me my due
     with the eyes of a lamb you invited me
to share the beauty spot of you gorgeous heart

       you came knocking at my door step
        at the eleventh hour my ark angel  
        made my life a blossom of Lillis
 once in a lifetime i experienced heaven on earth

      exchanging rings inspirited our love
    beautiful like diamonds Rihanna did say
  our love proved spherical for it had no end
      till that day you left without a word

  under the wreck of a monstrous machine
    you left me for the land of the leals
 for even the gods adored you more than i
    and the paradise curtens fell 
    a paradise too short  indeed
